T. Rajendar(now Vijayarajendar) broke all the stereotypes in Tamil cinema to carve out a niche for himself. His unconventional looks and drumming dialogues were first in Tamil cinema. His love stories revolved around everyday individuals and his screenplay brought out the helplessness and dilemma in a sensitive manner. Although his films were tragedies, they rewrote box office history. The films had memorable songs hummed to this day. However, he did not keep pace with changing times and burnt his fingers with a few forgettable films. His foray into politics also proved his undoing. Meanwhile, he has groomed his son Silambarasan to take on the mantle. Now, T.R. is busy as the hero of Veerasamy in which Mumtaz, one of his protégés will be the heroine. Her character is called Chayakadai Sarasu. TR has created eight mega sets for the film in his own Simbu Gardens where the shooting is going on in full swing.
